One year ago today, I wrote this blog post: “Today would have been Beth Postlethwait’s 62nd birthday. That is, if she hadn’t died 11 months ago. Next Sunday is Mother’s day. Nathan and I stood in the ‘Mother’s Day Card’ section at Wal-Mart Thursday night. I was looking for a card for my Mum who I […]

Last fall our church called for volunteers to help grow their youth group. Nathan, and his brother and his wife and I volunteered, hoping to give back an ounce of support for everything the church has done for Nathan and his family over the years.

Today would have been Beth Postlethwait’s 62nd birthday. That is, if she hadn’t died 11 months ago. Next Sunday is Mother’s day. Nathan and I stood in the ‘Mother’s Day Card’ section at Wal-Mart Thursday night. I was looking for a card for my Mum who I love dearly, and we realized, that this year, we […]

We get married, soon. Two Months, 3 days, but who’s counting. I am beyond excited to be Nathan’s wife. I am really just ready for the day to be here, honestly. I am finished planning. I am over the ‘excitement’ of picking things out. I just want to be married. And I will be, in […]

As of yesterday I was determined not to do this. I did not want to recap 2011 in some big, wide open blog post. It felt vulnerable , and scary. It’s not as if remembering the events will bring up some sort of emotion that I have not had to already face this year, because […]
